Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of mounting a cover for sealing a wedge-shaped space of known construction defined between a clutch outer and a clutch inner of an over-running clutch.
- FIGS. 3a and 3b show a conventional method of mounting such a cover.
- a clutch outer 1 is formed at its inner periphery of a rear portion with a helical spline engaging with an output shaft, and is formed at its inner periphery of a front portion with a cam.
- a clutch inner 2 is provided to define a wedge-shaped space between an outer periphery of the rear portion thereof and the cam of the clutch outer 1.
- the clutch inner 2 is formed at its front portion with a pinion 3 having a substantially larger diameter than the clutch inner 2.
- the pinion 3 meshes with a ring gear (not shown) of an engine and transmitting a rotational force.
- a sleeve bearing 4 is engaged with an inner periphery of the clutch inner 2, and the output shaft is loosely engaged with the sleeve bearing 4.
- An engagement member (roller) 5 is provided in the wedge-shaped space. The engagement member 5 is urged by an elastic member (not shown) in a convergent direction of the wedge-shaped space, carrying out one-way transmission of the rotational force from the clutch outer 1 to the clutch inner 2.
- a stop washer 6 is loosely engaged with a groove formed at an intermediate portion of the clutch inner 2, functioning to prevent projection of the clutch inner 2.
- a cover 7 is provided to fix the stop washer 6, and is fixed to an outer periphery of the clutch outer 1.
- the clutch outer 1 is installed to the clutch inner 2, and the roller 5 and the elastic member for urging the same are mounted in the wedge-shaped space.
- the washer 6 is abutted against a side surface of the clutch outer 1 and the roller 5, and is engaged with the groove of the clutch inner 2.
- the cover 7 of a cylindrical structure with its front end portion 7a bent inwardly at a right angle is inserted from the pinion 3 side (See FIG. 3a), and then a rear end portion 7b of the cover 7 is fixed by bending to the outer periphery of the clutch outer 1.
- an inner diameter of the cover must be greater than an outer diameter of the pinion, so as to insert the cover from the pinion side. Accordingly, the forward bent part of the cover is reduced in size to such an extent that it becomes difficult to retain grease internally of the wedge-shaped space. Furthermore, it is difficult to commonly use the cover irrespective of a change in outer diameter of the pinion.
- an over-running clutch of the type including a cylindrical clutch outer, a clutch inner located inside an inner periphery of the clutch outer and defining a wedge-shaped space between the same and the inner periphery of the clutch outer, an engagement member mounted in the wedge-shaped space, an elastic member for urging the engagement member in a convergent direction of the wedge-shaped space, a washer for closing the wedge-shaped space, and a cover fitted on an outer periphery of the clutch outer for fixing the washer; a method of mounting the cover is provided which comprises the steps of bending a front end portion of the cover inwardly at an acute angle, insertingly engaging the cover with the outer periphery of the clutch outer, and bending back the front end portion of an right angle to fix the cover to the clutch outer.
- the cover is bent at its front end portion inwardly at acute angles before mounting, it is easily inserted from the pinion of the clutch inner. Furthermore, since the front end portion of the cover as bent is bent back at right angles after mounting, the other end of the cover may be secured.
- FIGS. 1a and 1b are sectional views showing the cover mounting method of the over-running clutch of a preferred embodiment according to the present invention
- FIGS. 2a and 2b are sectional views of the essential part of modified embodiments according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 3a and 3b are sectional views showing the conventional cover mounting method for a over-running clutch.
- FIGS. 1a and 1b show a cover mounting method of the over-running clutch according to the present invention.
- the same reference numerals as used in FIGS. 3a and 3b denote the same or corresponding parts in FIGS. 1a and 1b.
- a cylindrical cover 71 is formed with a front end portion 71a bent to extend inwardly and rearwardly at an acute angle and provide an internal diameter greater than the diameter of pinion 3.
- the cover 71 is inserted from the pinion 3 side of the clutch inner 1 (See FIG. 1a).
- the front end portion 71a as bent acutely is bent back at right angles, and is fixed to the clutch outer 1.
- FIG. 2a shows another embodiment of the front end portion 71a of the cover 71.
- the front end portion 71a is bent at two steps.
- FIG. 2b shows a further modified embodiment of the front end portion 71a of the cover 71.
- the front end portion 71a is formed with indentation.
- the cover 71 is fixed to the clutch outer 1 in the same manner as the embodiment of FIGS. 1a and 1b, but tight contact between the clutch outer 1 and the washer 6 may be improved upon fixing of the cover 71.
